Happy hump day everyone. I just enrolled my 11 year old son into an SDI open water course. My ex-wife has a trip on the books for the two of them going to Nevis this fall and she wanted to take him diving, probably just a two-tank day with a guide. Noteworthy, she's a novice diver who hasn't dove in years. I'm a DM and in order for me to feel comfortable letting him go with her, I'm going to help him along the way with his schooling and take him on a quick dive trip beforehand to make sure he's comfortable with equalizing, etc. (also I there's a bit of me that selfishly want his first dives to be with dad ). He's doing e-learning now, and his pool work in two weeks.
With that backstory, I'm looking for a good intro spot to take him to do his open water dives. We live in Colorado, so everything is a flight or two. I'm leaning towards the Key Largo area where I did my first dives as a kid, but open to suggestions. Basically looking for shallow, clear, and pretty; while not overly expensive. Thanks in advance!
